Langridge Acrylic Super Matte Medium

• Ultra-flat, zero-glare finish. Its very high matting agent content knocks out virtually all shine, eliminating distracting studio glare and letting deep darks and rich earth tones read clearly from every angle.
• Hazy, wax-like glazing effects. When applied thinly as a glaze over dried paint, it imparts a dreamy, hazy, almost wax-like look that evokes the quiet softness of encaustic or cold wax painting.
• Balanced body and smooth flow. Even though it has slightly more body than the Gloss or standard Matte mediums, it still relaxes stiff brushwork and adds effortless flow right off the palette.
• Ideal tooth for mixed media layering. Because it dries to such a velvety, dead-matte surface, instructors love brushing it over acrylic layers to create an instant tooth for pastel, coloured pencil, or charcoal marks.
• Non-yellowing and permanently flexible. Once cured, it remains completely archival and moves naturally with stretched linen or cotton canvas over the years without cracking or turning brittle.

• Stir thoroughly before use. Because of its very high matting agent content, heavier solids naturally settle at the bottom of the bottle, so always give it a good stir before pouring to ensure a uniform dead-matte finish.
• Build misty atmospheric depth. Brush a thin glaze of Super Matte Medium over distant hills or background elements to push them back with a soft, misty veil while keeping foreground highlights crisp and glossy.
• Clean brushes promptly. Because it dries to a permanent, flexible acrylic film, always wash your brushes thoroughly with warm water before the medium sets in the bristles.
• Respect the full cure time. While it becomes touch-dry in 30 to 60 minutes so you can keep working during a workshop, allow the full 72 hours of drying time for a complete cure before applying any final protective coats.
